GlobalLogic Project Manager interview questions

My initial discussion with "V" and "P" went really well. "P" was specific regarding the requirement and the discussion was crisp. The expectations were properly and correctly set. I appreciate the friendly approach "P" took with the discussion as it is rarely seen now a days. Thank you "P". I had a very good and detailed discussion with "H" too in the second round and was very positive regarding my feedback. "H" expressed concerns If I would be able to manage a team of 35 people successfully as the largest team I had handled directly is 15 in count. I clearly stated my capabilities to "H" and also presented a real life experience where I not only worked and managed my Wipro colleagues but also team members from other Vendors (Accenture, Infosys & Sapient) working at client location in Germany. In my opinion I did well. I received a feedback from "V" in a few hours which stated that I am not shortlisted because “H is looking for a project manager who has handled a team of around 35 people and not 15”. I have 2 questions here: - Is the difference between 35 people and 15 people that much significant that it becomes a deciding factor in a candidate’s selection? I would not ask this if it was between 1000 and 15. - If 35 was such an important number, don’t you think it should have been clearly stated in the JD so that I could myself walk out of the opportunity? The very first page in my resume clearly states what kind and count of team I am managing currently. Shouldn’t the interviewer have a look around a candidate’s resume before the interview? If count was such a crucial factor, why not reject me in the beginning of the interview instead of discussion multiple other things for almost an hour? I still appreciate and thank "V" for the swift interview process and prompt feedback. It is not that I cannot take rejection. I have been rejected more number of times than I have been selected. But I at least deserve a proper justification for the same.
